MOUTHPIECE FOR CIGARS OR CIGARETTES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 722,383, dated March10, 1903.

Application filed July 3, 1901. Serial No. 67,003. (No model) To allwhom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOSEF PRZEDEOKI and LUDWIG PRZEDECKI,manufacturers, of Neudorfstrasse 36, Breslau, Germany, have inventedsome new and useful Improvements in Mouthpieces for Cigars orCigarettes, of which the following is a full and clear description.

The present invention relates to a double mouthpiece for cigars andcigarettes with an under layer consisting of asbestos. The cigarette orthe cigar is provided with a mouthpiece consisting of two layers, thelower of which is made of asbestos or, better still, of asbestos paper,while for the upper one any suitable material may be usedfor instance,wood-shaving, cork, straw, leaf-gold, metallic paper, or the like. Thearrangement of the under layer of asbestos has the essential advantagethat the mouthpiece remains cool during the process of smoking.

The accompanying drawings show as illustration a cigarette provided withthe aforesaid mouthpiece.

Figure 1 is a perspective view. Fig. 2 represents the cigarette with themouthpiece rolled up.

a is the under layer of asbestos, and b the upper one, which may consistof any suitable material.

It Will be noticed that the layers of asbestos and the wood-shaving orother material are coextensive and are only of sufficient length toserve as a mouthpiece. The purpose of the asbestos is to resist the heator fire and protect the outer layer of material, which is of such anature as to afford a pleasant contact with the lips.

We claim- As an article of manufacture, a cigarette having a strip orlayer of asbestos wrapped around one end only of said cigarette and astrip or layer of suitable material for contact, with the lipsencircling said asbestos strip and coextensive therewith, substantiallyas described;

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of twowitnesses.
